The Relationship Between Hypertension and Coffee

Christian Goodman asked:


If I have one vice in my otherwise healthy lifestyle, it’s my large cup of great coffee, everyday.  Not one for wanting to own “vices,” I am curious as to why coffee, in moderation, is considered to be one.

A good friend recently stated that her doctor had told her she had to quit drinking coffee due to her hypertention (high blood pressure). 

I wondered to myself what advice the doctor gave to my friend about food intake, alcohol intake and smoking.  All three of these things my friend does tend to partake in to excess.

Quite likely, my friend’s doctor stressed to her that her weight and smoking habits were contributing to her high blood pressure.  Why then did he mention coffee?

I have read no studies where it states that there is a causal link to coffee and hypertension.

Studies I’ve seen published have shown an a temporary increase in blood pressure after drinking coffee but the increase is not significant.

These studies also show that this increase in blood pressure goes away over time.

Researchers are starting to notice that the reason coffee is so often associated with the actual contributors to hypertension (cigarettes, and obesity) is because many people tend to combine drinking coffee with these bad behaviors.

The arguement that drinking coffee causes high blood pressure, based upon the above partnering of behaviors, is just plain false. 

This combination of behaviors is where I’d like to see more research.  I’ve read incredible stories about people who switched from coffee to green tea and see all sorts of positive changes, including lowered blood pressure.  What wasn’t expounded upon was whether or not they gave up their cigarettes and pastries as a result.

I believe moderation truly is the key as far as coffee (and well, everything) is concerned.  I love my coffee and I drink one cup of great coffee every day.

If you are suffering from hypertension, I’d like to recommend my High Blood Pressure Program.  This is a completely natural remedy and while simple, it has proven, amazing results.

Additionally, I suggest my Weight Loss Breeze Program if you suffer from this condition as well.

Help for Blood Pressure: How Self Hypnosis Can Help Hypertension

J Seymour asked:


You can help blood pressure decrease with the support of self-hypnosis. This approach offers help for hypertension that can alleviate your tendency to turn red with anxiety and stress. This guide brings you new methods of deep relaxation that can harmonize your mind and body.

Hypertension 101

Hypertension is a state that consists of excessive pressure in your vessels. The vessels that carry life-sustaining nutrients and oxygen to your cells can become blocked, inflamed and irritated. When this occurs, you experience a build-up that pressurizes the circulatory system.

The additional strain makes it impossible for the red fluid to flow without extra force. This is a huge burden on your circulatory system and your physical body as well. Anxiety and stress can contribute to this significant problem.

This condition is typically discovered during a doctor’s visit so it is crucial that you see your physician to ascertain that you have hypertension. Blood pressure assistance is available with the guidance of your doctor who can put together a plan of action for you to follow. Self-hypnosis makes the perfect complement to this approach.

Help Blood Pressure Decrease

You can give yourself the support that you need in order to overcome this health problem with self-hypnosis. This approach recognizes the deep connection between your thinking patterns and emotional responses. Your emotional responses—particularly anxiety—can cause your pressure to soar.

It makes perfect sense that you can make this work in reverse. Your thought patterns lead to emotional responses that create physical responses. This cycle can be changed when you change your thought processes. This is very difficult to do on a conscious level.

When you use self-hypnosis, you are no longer working against your inner thought processes. You can change your thinking patterns in order to experience positive, relaxed emotional responses. These new emotions assist you to open the vessels, making circulation flow without stress and force. Alleviating the burden in your mind alleviates the burden in your vessels.

Self-Hypnosis Recordings

You can use self-hypnosis at your convenience and in privacy. There is no need to make any appointments other than your initial doctor’s visit. This approach is convenient and you have the benefit of taking a proactive approach to your health.
